   Review - foobar2000

   0.9.5 Beta 9 (Dec 30, 2007)

   It plays audio, it converts audio, it organises audio, and it is minimalistic to a fault. :p
   
   Have used it for 2+ years and going strong with it. It is free, but those who work and can spare the cash should donate some to the software author.
   
   Without this player and its extensive and efficient controls, one would need to use multiple software to do the job well.

   Review - nLite

   1.4.1 (Dec 12, 2007)

   Welcome to the club roj. :)
   
   Besides a failed experiment with a much earlier version (1.1 I think), this program has always exceed my expectations with innumerable customisations, reductions and more importantly, stability.
   
   This with ryanVM's pack is unbeatable. I'm awaiting XP SP3.

   0.9.4.5 Beta 1 (Sep 24, 2007)

   It's heartening to see Foobar2000 on the cutting edge.
   
   This player is for those who are NOT visually superficial and who want a shot at squeezing the cleanest DSP chain out of their music player.
   
   In any case, my setup looks like iTunes, haha. I keep my cake and eat it too!

   Review - nLite

   1.3 Release Candidate (Jan 3, 2007)

   roj, you seem to give the impression that you're slowly eating your words.
   
   A number of these 'greasy kidz' are probably in more respectable occupations than both me and you.
   
   If you cannot handle advanced OS stuff (I concede that you have technical ability in other areas, including audio), you still don't have to diss half the world out there who knows what they are doing with nLite.

   Review - Miranda IM

   0.7 Test Build 2 (Nov 26, 2006)

   Haha, I used Miranda 0.3x for over a year and there were zilch updates. When I finally got fed-up with the stagnation I went back to mainstream MSNMsgr (Didn't need ICQ anymore). Suddenly, 0.7 is out for testing.
   
   It was a pleasure using even 0.3x.

6. Comment - Has Firefox 3 certificate handling become too 'scary?'

   0.7 Test Build 2 (Aug 21, 2008 - 5:27 AM)

   There are quite a number of people who have never used Vista and yet speak as if they have Ph.Ds on the subject of UAC.
   
   It is unfair to single out and target 2 unique individuals. ;)

7. Comment - China moves to sanction video sites, shut down others

   0.7 Test Build 2 (Mar 24, 2008 - 9:25 AM)

   This quote is so true for both China and the USA.

8. Comment - Columbia University professor could trigger a Blu-ray injunction

   0.7 Test Build 2 (Mar 23, 2008 - 4:15 AM)

   If there is demand for that invention, then why can't people make money off it? It's not like it's a vital medical discovery or drug that the masses desperately need at low cost.
   
   Go and tell people to curb their demand and their consumption rate, that's the more logical thing to do.

   0.7 Test Build 2 (Mar 23, 2008 - 4:11 AM)

   Blue lasers are not going to save millions of lives, so we can make do without it for several decades if need be. This will only serve to further research in alternative storage, like holography.
   
   Again, I really don't see how the government comes into all this.

    They are already paying the judges their salaries whether this lawsuit proceeds or not. It's called 'sunk cost' in economics.
    
    What's the relevance of the police? The lawsuit is being fought with private money.
